Orth to Tulln to Ybbs to Linz (3 days, 278.6km @ 20kph)
HI everyone. So we have now ridden along the Danube to Linz where we took a train south to Zell am See. Here we are having a bit of R&R at Sig's relatives Inge Otto and her daughter Christine (second cousin) and Alea Canning.
Since 3 days back the weather has been cold and wet (snow on the mountain tops) so it is nice to be in a warm house, wash all our clothes and do some bike maintenance. Also nice to have 2 hour breakfasts with yummy Austrian bread and multiple cups of coffee. Good to be with family.
The ride from Vienna to Linz was 100% beautiful and anyone thinking of cycling the Danube we would recommend starting at Passau and riding downstream. It's about a week of leisurely riding to Vienna. Lots of gorgeous villiges on the way, a varied landscape and from that direction a tail wind. (guaranteed)
Tomorrow we will take the train back to Linz and pedal north to Czech Republic. We are blogging this from a cafe and are having a bit of trouble with photo downloads so from now on the blog might be a bit "plainer" and more sporadic.
